Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 504 Chapter 503: "Shocking the World"

After arranging for the other people, Zhu Zhanhe also got on the carriage. Seeing this, Mu Sheng also walked towards the other carriage that Zhu Zhanqi called.

However, when he walked to the carriage, he was stopped.

"Duke Qian, I'm offended." Zhu Kang bowed slightly and held up a black cotton scarf with both hands.

Mu Sheng frowned and looked at Zhu Kang in front of him, and then at the two carriages in front of him.

He was not angry because of Zhu Kang's actions, but was filled with fear.

From the time Zhu Zhanqi first asked Zhu Zhanhe to send away irrelevant people, and now even he had to bring a black cotton towel before setting off, Mu Sheng became strongly curious about where he was going, and along with it With intense fear.

Because he knew that the more this happened, the more difficult it was for the place he was going to go to.

Or it's something shameful, such as the orthodox emperor, the empress dowager, or even the empress dowager who will be under house arrest after arriving at the place.

Another possibility is that the King of Wu's lineage has some great weapon to protect the country, either a higher-yielding grain, or a more lethal weapon.

Of course, this is just Mu Sheng's conjecture, a direction, what are the specific facts...

Thinking of this, Mu Sheng shook his head slightly, then closed his eyes, and motioned Zhu Kang to tie the black cotton towel on himself.

On the surface, he was very respectful, but Zhu Kang didn't hold back his hands at all when he tied the cotton towel. Not only was he very strong, but he almost covered Mu Sheng's face. After repeated confirmation, he helped Mu Sheng into the carriage .

With his face wrapped in a black cotton towel and Zhu Kang being very careful, Mu Sheng couldn't see anything and could only confirm what the road he was passing through felt.

However, he is not familiar with Xiangzhou Mansion. He only came here when he first attacked Siam. In addition to the years when Wu Wang's lineage took over, the changes here can be described as earth-shaking.

Therefore, Mu Sheng could not get any effective information. He only knew that the carriage he was riding on was on a very flat road. It should be official according to the smoothness, but then it suddenly became bumpy.

This kind of bumps is not the kind of bumps on the road, but the bumps that make the whole carriage shake, as if the road surface has turned into water.

Although he didn't take boats all year round, Mu Sheng had been on quite a few boats, and he immediately understood that the carriage was on board.

After jolting for almost an hour, the carriage stabilized again, and another half an hour passed before the carriage stopped.

"Duke Qian, I'm offended." Zhu Kang opened the door curtain of the carriage and said softly.

"We've arrived, please get off the bus."

After hearing this, Mu Sheng stood up, adjusted his legs that were numb from sitting, and got out of the carriage with Zhu Kang's help.

As Zhu Kang untied the black cotton towel from his face, Mu Sheng first squinted his eyes in confusion, but soon turned into shock.

What caught his eyes was a huge building. He didn't know how big the building was because he was inside the building at this time, but the height of the ceiling told him that the building was probably It exceeds the size of all buildings in the world.

Even if it is the imperial palace, even if it is the Fengtian Hall of Shuntian Mansion.

But soon, Mu Sheng had no time to be shocked by this building, because he saw Zhu Zhanhe.

Following Zhu Zhanhe's satisfied gaze, Mu Sheng saw the most unbelievable thing in his life.

A ship, a huge ship.

Only then did Mu Sheng remember to take a look at the entire interior of the building.

Various scaffoldings and various stoves are scattered everywhere. The gate not far away is larger than the gate of Shuntianfu Palace, and this gate only has narrow roads on both sides, and there is water in the middle.

Obviously, this is a shipyard. According to the parlance of this era, this is the dock of Bao Shipyard under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Shipping Department.

"His Royal Highness, this..." Mu Sheng walked up to Zhu Zhanhe, his tone trembling.

The ship in front of them was large, but compared to the ships Mu Sheng had seen, it was not the largest.

Among the Ming Dynasty's treasure fleet, the largest was the handsome ship, with a length of more than 44 feet and a width of up to [-] feet.

Next is the horse boat, which is about 37 feet long and [-] feet wide.

Then there is the grain boat, which is about 28 feet long and twelve feet wide.

Then there is the boat, which is about 24 feet long and nine feet wide.

The last is a small warship, about eighteen feet long and six feet eight feet wide.

He didn't know the specific data of the ship in front of Mu Sheng, but judging from the visual situation, it should be about the same size as a boat, and at most no larger than a grain ship.

Therefore, from Mu Sheng's perspective, the size of the ship was not enough to shock him. What really shocked him was the material of the ship.

It is brown and black, but it should not be the color of the hull itself, but the paint that slowly turns black after being exposed to the air, but it can still be seen that the hull of this ship is not made of wood, because there are no obvious gaps. .

"How is it? Are you surprised?" Zhu Zhanhe's expression was very satisfied.

"Although the entire body of this ship is not made of steel, its exterior is entirely made of steel, and important parts of the interior are also made of steel."

"You know, the manufacturing of this ship took a lot of time."

With that said, Zhu Zhanhe called his younger brother: "Zhanqi, how long has this boat been built?"

"As for brother, it's been five years." Zhu Zhanqi stepped forward and said.

"Five years..." Zhu Zhanhe was also very emotional when he heard this.

Steamships and steam trains were two things that he had always attached great importance to, but did not have enough time to realize, so he could only take the time to write out as much as possible what was in his mind, and then handed it over to His younger brother will implement it.

However, it was different from what Zhu Zhanhe thought. He originally thought that steam trains would come out first, but he did not expect that it would be steam ships.

This is actually not correct. The steam train actually came out last year, but there are still many problems, mainly the service life and fixation stability of the rails, which prevent it from being put into use.

This gave the steamship a chance to overtake.

However, Mu Sheng did not pay attention to this, but looked at the steel ship in front of him blankly.

At this time, he only had one thought in his mind: Why didn't the ship made of steel sink?

Could it be that there is enough wood in it?But how much wood is needed to hold up the steel hull?Wouldn't there be no space inside the hull?
Zhu Zhanhe didn't know what Mu Sheng was thinking, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't laugh at it, because this is not Mu Sheng's problem, but a problem of this era and the level of technological development of this era.

"Try it."

While Mu Sheng was still in a daze, Zhu Zhanhe spoke to Zhu Zhanqi.

At this time, Mu Sheng came to his senses, but before he could concentrate, another question came to his mind.

How can this ship sail without masts or sails?
